Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

Wuwuwu——

A gigantic steel monster stopped at the winter's ice-free port.

This is the pinnacle of winter craft development, the crystallization of human technology, and the product of the combination of knowledge and elemental power.

[Queen]!

Magic crystal ore is used as the elemental resonance circuit, which becomes the blood vessels of this giant ship. High-quality steel plates made of fine iron are its skeleton, and five cardinals for power conversion are its heart, allowing it to break the ice and sail on the icy winter sea.

It is a weapon for mankind to conquer nature, a monster condensed by human wisdom, and the best embodiment of the aesthetics of violence.

At the same time, it is also something that is infinitely close to blasphemy that is not allowed by the laws of nature.

Fortunately, it has not yet come into contact with the existence of [Taboo].

The Ice Queen seemed to be intentionally controlling its upgrade, sticking it at a critical point.

Or maybe the Ice Queen has seen its fate and is unwilling to invest more energy in its research and development.

In short, today's "Empress" is a famous icebreaker of Winter Solstice. Although it has only been in service for 25 years, it has shouldered the important task of Winter Solstice's political lifeline.

[The Queen] is the exclusive means of transportation for the high-level officials of Winter Solstice!

And it was on this giant ship that Alecino returned to Winter.

When this steel monster appeared in the port of Fontaine, countless people of Fontaine were conquered by the power it contained.

The coldly shining metal hull made it extremely terrifying.

"What kind of monster is this? An iron battleship? Winter is so... so scary..."

"How much does it cost to build such a steel battleship? Zhidong is really generous!"

"Oh my God, if there were such a monster in Fontaine, then..."

People admired the majesty of the Queen and were in awe of the cannons surrounding it, but at the same time they also felt a deep fear of the country of Dongdong.

People always say that the people of Zhidong value martial arts, and the people of Zhidong value strength even more.

What I saw today was indeed true!

As of winter, as the country with the strongest military power in Teyvat, it has never stopped expanding its military strength.

Even Liyue, which has the longest history, is not strong enough to compete with Zhidong.

……

Arlecino came down from the Queen amid the cheers of the Winter People.

Why were these people cheering for Arlecchino?

Because all those who can ride on the Queen are important figures in Zhidong, and all of them are heroes who have made great contributions to Zhidong.

The martial-minded Zhidong has great admiration for heroes and meritorious officials.

Arlecino promoted the establishment of diplomatic relations between Dongzhi and Fontaine, improved relations between the two countries, regained the Fontaine market for Dongzhi, promoted the further development of Dongzhi's economy, and greatly improved the living standards of Dongzhi's people.

How could she not get the support of the people of Zhidong?

But unfortunately, Alecino doesn't care about these people. She is now working for Zhidong, but she still needs to use Zhidong's power.

clap clap clap...

There was a burst of applause.

[Rooster] Pulcheria walked out from the crowd.

"Welcome back, my colleague, [Servant] Alechino."

A kind voice sounded, but Alechino only felt sick when he heard it.

Hypocritical and insincere... He is worthy of being able to collude with Kugavina.

"Forget the polite words. I left my work at Fontaine and came back here not to listen to your nonsense."

Alechino did not give Puccini any face at all. After all, except for those who had some connection with her and were still of some use, the other executives were all enemies.

"When will the Executive Officer Ranking Tournament begin? Will the Ninth Seat come this time?"

"There are still a few days left in the ranking battle... As for the kid you mentioned... Hehe, I'm sorry, he's on the front line against the Abyss and can't leave."

"So, this time you will assume the ninth seat, and you will start challenging the eighth seat [Rich Man]. The winner will continue, and the loser will be demoted."

Pucciniella didn't care about Arlecchino's expression at all, he said calmly.

"Pantaronie? He is no match for me."

Alechino said calmly.

Since she inherited the title of "Servant", her seat has been the lowest. This is all because Kugavina didn't work hard enough, and she has always been at the bottom of the ten executive officers.

But now the [Servant] is Alechino, and she is much stronger than Kugavina.

Coupled with the ambition in her heart, Alechino naturally wanted to fight for the front seat. After all, the closer the seat was to the front, the stronger the power, the more resources she could control, and the more say she would have among the Fatui.

However, the original ninth seat in this ranking battle will not come due to some matters, and the executives will internally decide that he will be automatically demoted.

In other words, Alechino will not face off against this mysterious Ninth Seat, but will directly replace his seat.

The executive ranking battle is a reverse upward method in which low-ranking executives challenge high-ranking executives. It can motivate low-ranking executives to climb up, and also make high-ranking executives feel a sense of crisis.

After all, although executives are equal on paper, the hierarchy between them still depends on fists.

Whoever is stronger has a higher seat; whoever has the bigger fist has the truth.

"Hehe... So, you're going to beat everyone else and make them flee in the first ranked battle you're going to experience?"

Pulchera chuckled, with an ambiguous gleam in his eyes.

"Why not? Executors always speak with their fists. I have been at the bottom for too long, and I am tired of the scenery at the foot of the mountain. I want to climb up and see the scenery at the top of the mountain."

Alechino replied coldly.

From the moment she returned to Solstice, she was no longer the diplomat of Solstice, nor was she the gentle Alechino that Finina knew, whose eyes were full of her, but a cold-blooded, cruel, crazy and vicious executive.

“Hahahaha… It’s good for young people to have ambitions, but if they don’t have the strength to match them, they’re nothing but a joke.”

Pulchera taunted.

"Whether it's delusion or fact, we'll know when the time comes. Anyway, I don't think you can stop me."

Arlecchino stopped talking to Pulcheria and left the port.

"Young people... every one of them is so impulsive... ah~"

Looking at the cold and arrogant back of Alechino as he left, Pulcheria shook his head.

Just then, a young man with orange hair came running over.

"Hey! Old man!"

Hearing the voice, Puccini turned around and a smile immediately appeared on his old face.

"Haha, it's Ajax! What's wrong? What do you want from me, old man? Is Tok being naughty again?"

Puccini said with concern.

"No, no. Toke is very good. I just want to ask you something else, old man."

Ajax shook his head and said.

"Oh? What's going on?"

"I want to take the executive officer exam!"
